Same here. The $25M/year is a great insurance policy to keep you from doing something stupid and blowing it all, but I'd definitely take the ~$300M or so up front after taxes.

You would have to do something monumentally stupid to blow $500m. Or even $300m.
You can say this, but the phenomenon is quite common. There is no shortage of people doing monumentally stupid things.
One jumbo jet please!
I agree, but you'd be surprised. Trusting the wrong people to manage it for you is a great way to start. Getting a god complex and becoming involved in high cost ventures in business you don't understand is a great way to finish.
